There have been over five million views of the video below, but I hadn't seen it before. So, I'm hoping many of you haven't either. It isn't very often I watch one of these that hits home.

​Lately, I've met too many artists who are caught in the battle of not believing in themselves. The naysayers in their life combined with this being the slowest time of year for most photographers are dragging them down.

There's no need for a long intro to this video, but there is a quote I really liked:

If you're unsure about who you are, then your dreams and goals will never become a reality.

It's only four minutes of your day. Take the time to watch it and then share the post with somebody you know who's having doubts about their goal to be an outstanding artist! So much of success in life is about motivation and believing in yourself.
